Wow, so Bluesky just keeps on picking up steam, eh? Pretty sweet to see this! 📈 Cheers to all you new followers... so many, in fact, that I can't keep pace with checking who all of you are. 🤳 If we know each other, or i followed you back on the Bad Place™ please let me know you're here now!

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

As a cis woman, my No. 1 criteria for deciding whether to vote for a candidate is “Do: they explicitly support trans people?” I have yet to find anyone who supports trans rights who doesn’t also support: - people from other minority/ marginalised communities - the environment - financial equality

The award for best shirt our whole family has seen this entire electoral season definitely goes to @zoandbehold.bsky.social 💚👕🗳️ (with @emmie.bsky.social @erininthemorning.com @kimmy.zip and other very special folk. Hugs and love to you all) 🤛🤜

The fact that this took so long shows just how terrible this service really became eventually. Not to mention all the problems it created for residents and normal people in cities.

Remember this???! Well, the big reveal is up! Check out @deviantollam.bsky.social's YouTube for a really fun deep dive into the history of absinthe! youtu.be/m-TVORDXgQg?...

This comic is especially funny to me today because @0xdr34d.bsky.social and I had the pleasure of @emmie.bsky.social visiting last week and I pulled the two of them into an absinthe tasting session that I organized. As a certified anise enjoyed, I would support aniseed oil on all guillotines. 😁👍

So here's a funny question: how many of you @signal.org users like to make frequent use of the voice memo function? Lots of people in my life do, including me. In the past, voice memos would send basically immediately. Recently, has anyone found that voice memos take longer to process and send?

God forbid women have hobbies.

If flight attendants park their beverage cart directly next to your seat and then walk away, do you know that you're legally permitted to claim one free item from said cart for every minute that elapses with you trapped in your row? The more you know. 🌈🌟

If there was ever a better example of why age verification based on State law, which violates the dormant commerce clause, is bullshit this is it. I wasn't in Texas, I'm not in a VPN and I'm not going to share my exact location. Why did this show up? AT&T CGNAT in CO goes out Dallas.

My video booted from YouTube yesterday is back (well, at a new URL) with a brief intro from me summarizing what happened. TL,DR: YouTube's AI tools flagged it as "firearms sales content" even though it's (a) there are no sales and (b) there are no firearms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_V...

My latest video about medical supplies — which features absolutely no firearms and contains no links to any firearms and doesn't even mention firearms — has been removed from YouTube for violating their firearms policy.

Remember, an election is upon us and the tech oligarchs have weaponized their AIs for information warfare. They have automated their attack on democracy. The bot flood is a psyop to make it look like Trump has more support than he really has, to intimidate you into not voting.

A Cree First Nation has announced its intention to use treaty rights to become a safe haven for Alberta’s trans and Two-Spirit youth to access gender-affirming care. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

HopeNote| Tues ed. good soul @deviantollam.bsky.social shares joy of experiencing live music event & how we all should gift ourselves joy, contentment, hope - sit & listen. rest & read. ideas that fit w/my oft re-shared 'Music Heals' & 'Music Matters' from g. s. @djjohnrichards.bsky.social :ps:

Aaaaaaand, there it is... www.instagram.com/p/Dclt2joiae-/

"Milo got arrested!" "That's good!" "By an unaccountable secret police force" "That's bad" "He supported them, though, so there's delicious irony at play." "That's good!" "But they came for him because fascist power has reached a point where petty infighting can lead to arrests" "That's bad"

Damn, dude. You're telling me that when you join a fascist movement you run the risk of having the state apparatus turned against you in a factional dispute? This is the first I'm hearing of this.

He has reached levels of embarrassment beyond anything that anyone has ever dreamed could be possible. Scientists and academics might have to study this for decades.

Dolly Parton, like Fred Rogers, stood up for people when it was unpopular, just because it was the right thing to do. She stood up for gay men during the AIDS crisis when others stayed quiet. She stood up for sex workers. She stood up for trans people. I will always love her.

Are there Vegas odds concerning whether Trump can offer remarks about Dolly's passing without resorting to mostly focusing on her looks? 😔

My video this week talks about scammers on social media and I have a particularly honest moment during which I discuss my biggest *personal* concern when it comes to this topic... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo_1...

I cannot properly express how much I want to yeet all AI features like this into the sun. NO, I am NOT interested in your "summary" of anything to do with my personal messages or personal information. 😣

You'd be surprised how many riots would never have happened if people, especially police, just let other people live in peace. Oppression is the number one cause of riots.

#OtD 23 Aug 1851 a violent riot broke out in Sydney, Australia, when police arrested a sailor wearing women's clothing. Hundreds attacked police officers and police stations, freeing all prisoners along the way. We've produced this poster in celebration: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

BREAKING: Major free speech ruling. Federal judge says FIU likely violated First Amendment rights of anti-ICE student protesters. She's ordered the university to stop disciplinary actions and to halt enforcing its policy against "expressive activities" indoors. www.wlrn.org/government-p...

Thank you @deviantollam.bsky.social! I just opted out of the biometric scan at Newark today, your video gave me the knowledge and confidence to do so

Which one of you magical monsters can make this happen for the most special unicorn ever at DEFCON? 😍🦄

Fam! I neeeeed one of these! (Unfortunately I don't CTF and also the CTF is over).  Does anybody have an extra one? Pweeeeeease?! 🦄🌈💜 @defcon.bsky.social #defcon

😍🌈💓

Really nice to see that this is a prominent message of the AI Village DEFCON

Heyyyyy @defcon.bsky.social, come join me (and some of my polycule) at the 2nd Polycon! All are welcome — community members and allies. Bring your curiousity and your questions! We hope to see you there! 💛 Sat, August 8th 11:00-12:00 LVCC room W325 (QueerCon Lounge on the 3rd floor)

Have you all heard about the best #DEFCON party ever? 🤘😆🤘 According to this completely trustworthy sign, it is going to be 10:00 p.m. on Friday night. 🍾🎉🥳 SecKC will be doing awesome things in the north lobby and you should all go there. If for no other reason... to flip off a Flock camera! 🖕📷

Thank you to everyone who is being so swell and smiling and offering hugs and hellos and fist bumps in the DEFCON hallways already. ☺️👍 Because some of you are a little timid or felt like you couldn't ask, yes saying or grabbing a selfie is fine.🤜🤛 (Golly, I sound like a douchebag saying that) 😆

My @defcon.bsky.social started out with one of the most wonderful evenings, surrounded by some of the most wonderful loving folk in my life. People like @emmie.bsky.social, @egyp7.bsky.social, Victoria, and — sadly not in the photo, but deserving mention specifically — Sara are incredible. 🥰

Real talk: you don't need leakers to know we lack stockpiles of precision munitions. There's a pretty good estimate of what we had through procurement records and a good idea of what we've expended. This is just math.
